10th performance of Love's Labour's Lost (my 5th)
I managed to park in my usual spot. The High Street was still shut for The Mop Fair and looked really pretty as the rides were lit up.
My seat was C12 which was a brilliant seat as it seemed to be closer to the stage than my C row seat at the front in the afternoon. I could certainly see their eyes and expressions better! It was an aisle seat too so David Tenant walked right past me to get to the stage at one part! I could also hear various actors walking past before and after they walked on stage in the outer area. It also meant that DT was singing (and humming) right near me and he has a lovely voice!
It seemed to be a better crowd tonight as there was more clapping and laughing. A couple of times they had to wait for us to finish clapping before they could say their next lines!
While DT was lying on the stage with his eyes closed Tom Davey threw a grape to Sam Alexander who caught it in his mouth so several people clapped!
I was very impressed with David Tennant's acting at the beginning of the play as his eyes really looked as though he had only just woken up! The bang of his head when the cushion was removed was quite loud tonight.
The man DT chose about having his arms folded didn't drop his arms straight away but I noticed that he did soon later! The "German clock" woman was sitting a couple of rows in front of me and had actually missed the first scene as they had arrived late.
The song was included again tonight at the end of the interval.
Once again DT went to the back row during the second bow. I think that's a lovely touch as it means that it really is an ensemble cast! He did give a lovely smile (as though he was pleased with the performance tonight) as he left the stage.
I went to the backstage door again tonight and stood back at the wall. Thankfully it was a nice and controlled crowd tonight. David Tennant came out really quickly again and went round signing autographs and chatting to people. Several people gave him presents so at one point he remarked on it (along with a "Jings" exclamation!). Just as he was about to go inside, a woman said in a loud voice that her 7 year old son would never forgive her if she didn't get his autograph! DT joked that it was unfair but still signed it for her!
It was then time for an easy drive home - at least with LLL I get home a good half hour earlier!
